Gigabody.com, the online workout video service, launches a customizable feature to estimate calorie burn for all videos in its library

Gigabody is committed to providing the most accurate, personalized workout insights possible to its members.

Alameda, California (PRWEB)July 30, 2015

Gigabody.com announced today the release of a new feature on its website to estimate and track calorie burn for each workout in its library. Average calorie burn ranges are provided for each video, and accurate calorie burn is calculated on a per-workout basis for each individual. During each workout, a live calorie burn counter provides ongoing feedback to exercisers.

The calorie burn calculator is customizable for each individual. Members may optionally submit their age, height, weight, and gender to calculate a more accurate calorie burn estimate for each workout. Users then see personalized calorie counts for all workouts on the site.

Calculating calorie burn accurately relies, in part, on workout intensity, and in part on the metabolic equivalent of the workout (MET) associated with that intensity. Gigabody estimates calorie burn by allowing users to specify on a per-view basis how intense each workout is for them. This input is used to refine personalized calorie burn information per exercise session.
